Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration is returning to Knott’s Berry Farm starting on January 31, 2026. It will continue on weekends through February 22, 2026. This year’s celebration will not only see the return of favorite PEANUTS characters, but it will also see a new on-the-move musical arriving. Ahead of the arrival of this happy celebration, Knott’s Berry Farm has revealed details about what will be offered. This year looks like it will be better than ever!

Knott’s Express

Knott’s Express is the new on-the-move musical that will be offered during Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration. This new show is a traveling musical. It will feature some dance numbers that are sure to get toes tapping, heartwarming songs from the Golden Age, and many other surprises for Charlie Brown and his friends along the way.

For each of these shows, the trolley will make three stops in the Boardwalk area, Charleston Circle, and near the Boardwalk Ballroom. Each stop along the way will have performances that are inspired by the location. There will be songs like Put on a Happy Face and You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile included during performances of the Knott’s Express. These performances will see performers in dapper and colorful costumes, streamers, and other touches of whimsical joy, Knott’s shared.

Kite Flying Foibles

A new limited-time exhibition that was organized by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center will be on display at Calico’s Town Hall. Kite Flying Foibles will explore kite-flying with the Peanuts gang. This will be done with high-quality reproductions of original Peanuts comic strips, drawings, and photos. Charlie Brown has many frustrations in the comic strips, and one of the biggest involves kites. This was something that Charlie Brown had in common with Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, who admitted he was never very good at flying kites. This exhibition promises to sweep guests away “by the humor and relatability that made Sulz’s strip soar.”

Calico Mine Stage

During the day and at night, there will be some fantastic performances to be seen on the Calico Mine Stage. During the day, Let’s Celebrate is a heartwarming musical tribute with Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of their Peanuts friends. They are joined by a cast of singers and dancers who help remind audiences why Peanuts is still beloved after 75 years. In the evenings, Snoopy’s Legendary Rooftop Concert will take to the stage. The PEANUTS gang and the indie band The Jelly of the Month Club will give high-energy and entertaining performances throughout the nights!

PEANUTS Cowboy Jamboree

At Calico Park, a western escapade will be found with Franklin and Linus becoming cowboys for the PEANUTS Cowboy Jamboree. Guests will be challenged by the boys to place some themed games that are perfect for a day in Calico.

Pigpen’s Pig Pen

In the Livery Stables in Ghost Town, Pigpen’s Pig Pen will find Charlie Brown’s messiest pal as he hosts a special meetup with some adorable animal friends. Pigpen may be messier than the nearby pig pen… Stop by and find out!
